Hasn't KC said Flash will be out for a month?

Not sure but I was told he will most probably be back.

Not looking good for Lomax and Percy though. Not good at all.

Nope and I hope robes isn't as bad as they think either.

You have to wonder what impact this will have on Lomax. If it is as bad as is being talked about, that will pretty much be two years of football he will have missed...

He'd lost pace from his last injury. That's not me noticing from the stands but its a fact.

It was just a question of when Lomax's leg was going to go again. Every tackle he's so careful to get up and he's stretching the leg constantly. As Pete has said above he's lost some pace too. That's why I think we should look to replace him.

I think we could struggle to score in this game. Considering they defended well against the best attacking team in the league it could be a long night for us.

It is noticeable, there have been a couple of breaks this year which I'd of expected him to finish but has got caught. Just before the Wellens try is the obvious example.

So what's the worst case scenario?

Wellens
Dawson Turner Jones Swift
Burns Wilkin
Amor Hohaia Walmsley
Greenwood Vea
LMS

Masoe Richards Thompson Hand

? Or are there more than that?

.

I take no pleasure in saying this but I agree. A top class fullback should definitely be towards the top of our shopping list now, irregardless of how long he is going to be out for.

He simply isn't dependable now and without that speed off the mark that he had, he suddenly becomes an average full back. There's also huge doubts about his defensive positional sense too.

I am not writing his Saints career off but fullback is a position we need to be seriously looking at.

He just needs to get fit surely.

How much of a pre-season did he get once he had recovered from injury. I think it's always the simple answer to replace someone, but players can come back.
I think Kevin Penny should be an example to all players about what getting your head down and working hard can achieve.

Kevin Penny is a completely different situation. He had to go away and work on his game and improve in various areas.

The situation with Lomax is about his fragility and his durability which is a much harder thing to work on and improve.
